She still hasn't arrived as yet  :(.....

I was hoping to get her for the weekend but it may not be.

I must say that I find the Tokai model numbering VERY confusing. Apparently in the 2010 catalogue the LS80 is now an LS92, with the number changing due to the amount of Yen it sells for.

Silly question in a BKP forum I know but..... Does yours have the stock pickups? Did it come with the MK2's? If so how were they?

This thread has made me get mine out! :lol:

I don't even know what model number it is. All I know is it's MIJ and I got it new in May 2008. Nice chunky neck.

I don't play it that often, but when I do I love it. I only had the stock pickups in there for a few hours, I deliberately went out looking for a Les Paul type as a home for my Mules.

Hope yours shows up soon :D

Yeah, that's standard, unfortunately.  I had an SG-155 and an SG-75, which then became and SG-175 and SG-85.

It's a logical system, but a confusing one.  You can just about keep up with new models, but when you're looking at something 10 or 20 years old it's really hard to work out what model you're buying and if it's a budget or premium one.
